Signs your SO is crossing a line

There's no denying the fact that no matter how intimate and deep your relationship is, there should be some breathing space as well. Experts say respecting boundaries is the cornerstone of a healthy relationship. Here are some signs that show certain lines are being crossed in your relationship:

Can't share everything!If your partner is invested in your interests, that's good news. But he gets hurt or offended if you do not share with him even the minutest detail of your everyday life, then he's certainly demanding more than he should. Both partners in a relationship are at a liberty to choose judiciously what to reveal to each other and what need not be shared.

Asking for passwordsIf he keeps on hankering after passwords to your social media accounts, online bank accounts and other personal platforms, beware. If you voluntarily share such information, it's fine. But if he continuously pesters you for it, even after you have shown your unwillingness, then he's certainly crossing a line by disrespecting your choice of privacy.

Control freak?Is your partner stopping you from meeting your friends and relatives? If you want to go out with your friends, does he sulk or resort to emotional manipulation? It's fine if your partner wants you all to himself, but if he's stopping you from mixing with other people, isn't that controlling behaviour?

Name-calling? Hell no!There are certain codes of etiquette that need to be followed in a relationship as well, experts say. There can be fierce fights between partners, but that doesn't give any of them the right to verbally abuse each other. If your SO is guilty of name-calling, you have every reason to get offended.

Is he snooping on you?Sometimes he may not make it too obvious, but if you feel that your partner is snooping on you in some way, you need to think if you should continue your relationship with this person. For instance, he is landing up in places where you'd least expect him. It may seem like a romantic gesture in the first few months, but if he's doing it regularly, he's definitely overstepping the boundaries.
